ABSTRACT Background Nedd4–2 is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that associates with transport proteins, causing their ubiquitylation, and then internalization and degradation. Previous research has suggested a corre- lation between Nedd4–2 and BP. In this study, we explored the effect of intercalated cell (IC) Nedd4–2 gene ablation on IC transporter abundance and function and on BP. Methods We generated IC Nedd4–2 knockout mice using Cre-lox technology and produced global pen- 2/2 drin/Nedd4–2 null mice by breeding global Nedd4–2 null (Nedd4–2 ) mice with global pendrin null 2/2 (Slc26a4 ) mice. Mice ate a diet with 1%–4% NaCl; BP was measured by tail cuff and radiotelemetry. We 2 measured transepithelial transport of Cl and total CO2 and transepithelial voltage in cortical collecting ducts perfused in vitro. Transporter abundance was detected with immunoblots, immunohistochemistry, and immunogold cytochemistry. 2 2 Results IC Nedd4–2 gene ablation markedly increased electroneutral Cl /HCO3 exchange in the cortical col- lecting duct, although benzamil-, thiazide-, and bafilomycin-sensitive ion flux changed very little. IC Nedd4–2 gene ablation did not increase the abundance of type B IC transporters, such as AE4 (Slc4a9), H+-ATPase, barttin, + 2 2 or the Na -dependent Cl /HCO3 exchanger (Slc4a8). However, IC Nedd4–2 gene ablation increased CIC-5 total protein abundance, apical plasma membrane pendrin abundance, and the ratio of pendrin expression on the apical membrane to the cytoplasm. IC Nedd4–2 gene ablation increased BP by approximately 10 mm Hg. Moreover, pendrin gene ablation eliminated the increase in BP observed in global Nedd4–2 knockout mice. 2 2 Conclusions IC Nedd4–2 regulates Cl /HCO3 exchange in ICs., Nedd4–2 gene ablation increases BP in part through its action in these cells.

In the absence of Nedd4–2, increased renal Na+ ab- sorption and increased BP are observed. Despite high levels of Nedd4–2 expression in intercalated cells, the role that these cells play in the changes in BP observed with Nedd4–2 gene ablation is unknown. This study is the first to show that Nedd4–2-dependent changes in BP occur in part from Nedd4–2 expressed in in- tercalated cells. Moreover, this study shows that Nedd4–2 gene ablation within intercalated cells stimulates electroneutral apical 2 2 Cl /HCO3 exchange in mouse CCD, in part by upregulating pendrin. In the cortical collecting duct (CCD), Na+ is absorbed primarily 2 by principal cells, whereas Cl is absorbed primarily across 2 2 15 ICs, largely through electroneutral Cl /HCO3 exchange across type B ICs.16 Apical anion exchange occurs through apical + 2 2 Na -independent Cl /HCO3 exchange mediated principally by pendrin (Slc26a4),17,18 which acts in parallel with the + 2 2 Figure 1.

Sensory symptoms include neuropathic pain, paraesthesia, and numbness and usually spread in a glove-and-stocking distribution. At present, there are no effective medications to treat or prevent CIPN, and the mechanisms by which symptoms are induced have not been fully elucidated. Paclitaxel (PTX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic that induces neuropathy in a high percentage of patients. The broad aim of this thesis was to establish a model of CIPN in vitro and in vivo and test clinically approved drugs for potential neuroprotective effects. Since the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) has been implicated in CIPN, we cultured dissociated primary DRG neurons from 5-week-old C57BL/6 mice and treated them with PTX to observe neurotoxic effects.

  • Sodium Channel Na Channels;Na+ Channels
    Sodium Channel Na channels;Na+ channels Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na +) through a cell's plasma membrane. They are classified according to the trigger that opens the channel for such ions, i.e. either a voltage-change (Voltage-gated, voltage-sensitive, or voltage-dependent sodium channel also called VGSCs or Nav channel) or a binding of a substance (a ligand) to the channel (ligand-gated sodium channels). In excitable cells such as neurons, myocytes, and certain types of glia, sodium channels are responsible for the rising phase of action potentials. Voltage-gated Na+ channels can exist in any of three distinct states: deactivated (closed), activated (open), or inactivated (closed). Ligand-gated sodium channels are activated by binding of a ligand instead of a change in membrane potential. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Sodium Channel Inhibitors & Modulators (+)-Kavain (-)-Sparteine sulfate pentahydrate Cat.
